Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is half a year later.
The turmoil in Sancaihui was over long ago. The law enforcement team successfully destroyed Xiaojingtang, recovered a large sum of "dirt", and distributed some gold, silver and jewelry to the family members of Sancaihui. The matter was settled.
Jiang Ming's life has also returned to calm...
"This alchemy technique is really not something that ordinary cultivators can master..."
In the small courtyard, Jiang Ming looked at the black smoked medicine cauldron in front of him, and he let out a long sigh.
It took him half a year and at least more than a hundred spiritual stones to refine the first batch of Qi Restoration Pills a few days ago.
Ten Qi Rejuvenation Pills are of average quality, and the market price should be ten spirit stones... The cost of each batch of medicinal materials is about two and a half spirit stones, which at first glance seems to be a terrifyingly high profit.
"But in this alchemy process, the most important thing is the rate of elixir formation... Only with a high enough rate of elixir formation can one be called a qualified alchemist."
Jiang Ming shook his head helplessly. After refining the first furnace, he made more than a dozen furnaces before refining the second furnace today.
This rate of pill formation is less than 10%...
If he were an ordinary casual cultivator, he would have lost all the pants he had paid for long ago, and even Jiang Ming felt a little distressed.
"Fortunately, I don't have to worry about my lifespan, so I can slowly increase the rate of elixir formation... Otherwise, whoever asked me to learn alchemy will definitely be my eternal enemy!"
He finally understood that this alchemy process was a snowballing tool for the masters, and it was also a gold-swallowing den for the poor and unorganized cultivators... No wonder there are so few alchemists in Xiao Qianshan, and how can ordinary people like this afford it?
Jiang Ming played with the milky white Qi Rejuvenation Pill in his hand, and suddenly felt that the world was very similar everywhere. No matter what he wanted to do or learn, only the Romans could do it...
What kind of bullshit does a noble son come from a poor family, bah...
After complaining for a moment, Jiang Mingcai took out another medicinal material from the storage ring and prepared to start the next furnace.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Jiang Ming looked up and looked under the big tree where many things were buried.
A familiar breath suddenly appeared in his perception.
"Good guy...you finally woke up?"
Jiang Ming put down the medicinal materials, strode to the tree, and carefully dug a hole.
In the pit, a chubby white radish stretched out its limbs and fluttered slowly, as if it had just woken up and was still a little confused.
This white radish is clearly the King of Medicine that Jiang Ming brought out from the mortal world.
Back then, this little thing almost withered in the mortal world. After Jiang Ming came to this world of immortality, he poured a lot of spiritual power into it, but failed to wake it up, so he could only bury it in his small courtyard and hug the dead horse.
The mentality of being a live horse doctor.
"I almost forgot about you..."
Jiang Ming picked it up from the pit and checked it several times.
She seems to be fatter than before, and the facial features on her face are clearer, but she still looks a little dull and cute...
"It seems that you, a white dumpling, are still suitable to grow up in the world of immortality... But don't run around blindly, you might be sliced into pieces if you are caught!"
Jiang Ming rubbed the fiery red grass blade on its end and threw it back to the ground.
After coming to Xiaoqianshan for four or five years, Jiang Ming read a lot of miscellaneous books, and accidentally learned that this medicine king should be something called a "supernatural medicine"...
The supernatural elixir is a mutated type of elixir. Although it is a plant, it can move freely like an animal and give birth to spiritual wisdom...
However, apart from looking bluffing, this thing is not much more effective than ordinary elixirs, and it also likes to eat elixirs. It is almost regarded as a pest in the world of immortality. Once this thing appears in the spiritual field
It must be eradicated immediately.
It is said that in the elixir field of Lingzhitang, a plant appeared decades ago, and when it was discovered, it had gnawed several acres of the elixir field...
The only special use that has been discovered is that it can be ground into powder and added to elixirs, which can improve the elixir production rate and elixir quality. It is a rare material and can be worth some money to alchemists...
…
"I think the Fire Lotus Valley has been sending young monks to fight for the Medicine King.
It is just for this purpose, there may be other purposes, but they are not recorded in the book."
Jiang Ming muttered to himself, then rolled his eyes: "Speaking of which, my elixir formation rate is also a bit low..."
At my feet, the white dumplings were rolling randomly on the grass. Suddenly my body stiffened, as if I felt a chill...
"Forget it, I finally have a companion brought from my hometown, I'd better not be so cruel!"
Jiang Ming smiled and leaned over to look at the little guy. His mouth could open slightly and he was chewing weeds on the ground.
"Follow me well. As long as I, Jiang Ming, have a bite to eat, you will never be hungry!" Jiang Minghao said angrily, taking out a golden ginseng from the storage ring and throwing it to the white dumpling.
This sentence seemed to have some kind of magic power, which made Bai Tuanzi's chubby body tense up. Then he was attracted by the aroma of spiritual ginseng, and he pounced on it and ate it...
Jiang Ming nodded with satisfaction, and a thought suddenly came to his mind: "Although the effect of this magical medicine is not very powerful, I heard that it can live for a long time, and maybe it will be of some use in the future..."
This thought passed away in a flash, and Jiang Ming didn't have much hope. Having a companion who could live long enough was already something worth celebrating...
"Speaking of celebrations, I have successfully refined two furnaces of Qi-Reviving Pills, and I haven't found anyone to celebrate yet..." Jiang Ming stretched his waist, picked out a few elixir plants and gave them to Baituanzi to eat, and told him to stay at home.
Then Shi Shiran walked out of the small courtyard.
…
Yuqiong Tower.
"You really made it..." Feng He looked at the Qi Recovery Pill in his palm with a surprised look on his face: "What's the rate of making the pill?"
Jiang Ming smiled awkwardly: "Less than 10%..."
"Why……"
Feng He shook his head: "You can only make money if you improve to above 40%... If you spend this time on cultivation, you may have broken through to the late stage of Qi training."
Although Feng He is not an alchemist, he has been around Xiaoqianshan for a long time, and he also knows how difficult it is. How many alchemists can increase the rate of elixir formation by 10%, and it will take several years...
When he said this, he was already reminding Jiang Ming not to lose big because of small things.
"Alas, Senior Brother Feng, you don't know... With my talent, I may never be able to break through to the late stage of Qi training in my life. It will be useless even after all the hard work. Maybe I will be done with the fifth level of Qi training... If not,
How could I get involved in alchemy..."
Jiang Ming let out a long sigh and rambled on... Bah, he talked about many difficulties during cultivation, and at the end he said with lonely eyes: "No more talking, let's drink and drink!"...
Feng He hesitated, then sighed, his eyes softened a lot, and he started drinking with Jiang Ming.
From that day on, the news that Jiang Ming turned to alchemy because he had no talent for cultivating immortals gradually spread throughout Lingzhi Hall...
Inexplicably, the relationship between Jiang Ming and everyone in Lingzhi Hall seems to be much harmonious.
There were even a few immortal cultivators who also mastered the advanced Misty Rain Technique, but they always disliked the rising star Jiang Ming and never said a few words...
After learning that Jiang Ming had given up his path to immortality, their attitude toward Jiang Ming suddenly improved a lot. They would say hello when there was nothing wrong and would take care of some small things.
"Everywhere in this world is the same..."
Jiang Ming received 10% more spiritual rice seeds than usual from the Lingzhi Hall for free, and went back to Xiaoqingfeng with a smile.
When he first entered Lingzhi Hall, he was a master of the sophisticated mist and rain technique that was in the spotlight, which made some people feel threatened, and also made some people jealous...
But Jiang Ming, who had given up cultivating immortals, was no longer enough to be a match for those people... Today, Jiang Ming is just a minor cultivator who has mastered the advanced Misty Rain Technique. He is of some use to Lingzhi Hall, but it is not enough to make people feel threatened.
A person who is not very competitive, but has some good skills... Such a colleague is naturally liked by everyone and is popular everywhere.
"This is the art of fishing, the essence of lying flat..."
Jiang Ming was in a happy mood, humming a little tune and returned to Xiao Qingfeng, throwing the spiritual rice seeds to the group of mortals.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, let it rain again..." Lao Guzi came running from a distance and said with a smile.
"Have you saved enough for the rent?" Jiang Ming asked casually, seeing the joy that could not be concealed on his face.
"Hey... how can that be possible!" Lao Guzi sighed, with a smile on his lips.
Jiang Ming didn't ask any more questions. After a while, Lao Guzi couldn't help it anymore and took the initiative to say with a smile:
"But I may be able to live in the cave soon... Xiaoqianshan's top management has ordered that in order to accommodate more casual cultivators, even if there are not enough spiritual stones, the cave can be purchased!"
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment and looked strange.
Lao Guzi continued to say happily: "No wonder people can become great monks, their brains are so flexible... The cave I am interested in, as long as I hand over fifty spiritual stones first, and then five spiritual stones every year according to the regulations
, after paying for sixty years, you can receive the title deed to the cave!"
"What a talent..."
Jiang Ming admired sincerely, this talent really shines wherever he goes.
"But this little Qianshan is so rich, is there any big move?"
Jiang Ming thought to himself, feeling a little more vigilant in his heart. If anything was wrong, he would immediately flee.
"I hope I'm over-worrying."
To be honest, he felt that he was quite comfortable in Xiao Qianshan. If nothing unexpected happened, he could live here until the end of time. Every one or two hundred years, he would change his identity and continue living there...
After applying rain to Lao Guzi, the new neighbor Xu Ren warmly invited Jiang Ming to his home for dinner.
Jiang Ming picked up a bottle of wine and went happily... He felt that this little guy was a bit like A Fei back in the day. He was very enthusiastic about life. Chatting together made him, an old guy, feel a lot younger...
After returning home and playing with Bai Tuanzi for a while, Jiang Ming continued to start his alchemy business.
"Only when I master the art of alchemy can I gain a foothold in this world of immortality!"
No matter where I wander in the future, with this skill by my side, I can make a living in a low-key manner no matter where I am... Otherwise, if I only rely on crowdfunding to make money, I will be in trouble one day.
Peng...
Another puff of black smoke rose up, and a white dumpling rolled happily on the grass. Jiang Ming kicked it aside angrily.
"You white radish, if you laugh at me again, I will make you practice too..."
After refining all afternoon and wasting six or seven furnaces of medicinal materials, Jiang Ming's face was completely covered in black...
"Go to hell with your grandma!" Jiang Ming kicked down the medicine cauldron and decided not to make elixirs for three days, but instead started to practice the newly acquired spell, Golden Fire Sword Finger.
Why don't you lie down, I'm going to secretly drag you to death...
…
Days pass by, practicing, giving rain, refining elixirs...
Fifteen years have passed by in a hurry.
It has been twenty years since Jiang Ming came to Xiaoqianshan.
For cultivators, it is only a blink of an eye. Xiaoqianshan is still the same as it was fifteen years ago, but it is more lively.
Although it is a gathering place for casual cultivators, the threshold of Xiaoqianshan was not low back then. It was difficult for minor cultivators in the early stage of Qi training to survive here, and the main force was in the middle stage of Qi training.
But nowadays, every peak is full of casual cultivators of the first and second levels of qi training, living in caves of various sizes. Although the spiritual qi is thin, they have a place to stay.
"Old Guzi, you can't build your body with force..."
Jiang Ming warned at the entrance of a simple courtyard.
"I know, I know..." Lao Guzi has a stooped body and a head full of white hair. Just ten years have passed, and he seems to have aged thirty years. His clothes are extremely shabby, and his whole person exudes a rotten smell of dying. His eyes
It's also a lot more dull.
"Please give me another ten days, just ten days..." Lao Guzi begged.
Jiang Ming stared at Lao Guzi for a long time, then sighed and said in a faint voice: "Old Guzi, you and I have a close relationship... but rules are rules. If you still can't pay the money for these rains after ten days,
Then I will take away your harvest of one acre of spiritual rice!"
Lao Guzi was stunned and quickly wanted to say something, but Jiang Ming had already turned around and left.
Lao Guzi stood there blankly. After a while, a middle-aged man in rich clothes walked out of the courtyard and frowned: "Dad, don't you have a good relationship with that man? Why is he so unkind..."
"Alas!" Lao Guzi sighed: "In the past few years, our family's friendship with Brother Jiang has almost been exhausted..."
He suddenly regretted that it was not a good thing to live in the cave in advance. In his imagination, planting the land on time and handing in the spirit stones on time was not the case at all in reality...
The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "In the world of immortal cultivation, only cultivation has the greatest say. He is just a minor cultivator stuck at the fifth level of Qi training. When I break through to the later stage of Qi training, he will not beg to do things for us...
…”
Lao Guzi was startled, and quickly blocked his son's mouth, whispering: "Why are you so crazy... He is now the only alchemist in Lingzhi Hall. Although his cultivation level is not high, with his relationship, he can
If you can take away our land, don’t talk nonsense...”….
The middle-aged man's face was full of anger, but he did not dare to say anything else.
…
On the mountain road, Jiang Ming's eyes were calm. It was not that he was cruel, but that in this small mountain, being too kind would only cause trouble.
There are more rules in the chaos. Xiao Qianshan's rule is that you must not show weakness and kindness...
"Master Jiang, morning!"
I saw some acquaintances along the way, and they all greeted Jiang Ming politely.
Jiang Ming smiled and responded one by one. Fifteen years later, his alchemy skills have finally improved a lot. With several basic elixirs such as the Qi Restoration Pill and the Golden Blood Pill, the elixir-making rate has finally increased to more than 50%, which is considered a small improvement.
A famous alchemist...
Although his cultivation level is "low" and he has Lingzhi Hall as his backer, there are not many blind people who would dare to cause trouble for him.
Occasionally, there were a few minor troubles, but they were nothing major. It was just that Jiang Ming sprinkled inorganic fertilizer on the fields a few more times, and the Lingmi harvest was better...
"Jiang Ming...drink tonight!"
Suddenly, Duan Ping flew over on a rotten iron sword.
Ever since Feng He rode around on a rotten flying sword, the entire Lingzhi Hall was slowly infected. Even the hall leader Huang Chu found a rotten sword from nowhere and rode it swaggering through the market every day.
"We have a new member of Lingzhi Hall, another advanced misty rain technique..."
"Oh? It's such a happy event, it's time to drink!"
Jiang Ming smiled and said, happy to see the success. The more farming masters come, the easier his life will be, even though there is not much work to begin with...
But when he arrived at Yuqiong Pavilion, he discovered that the newcomer this time was actually a woman.
"He Xiaowan, I'm at the fifth level of Qi training. Please take care of me, senior fellow apprentices..."
This is a woman wearing a purple dress. Her words and deeds are very chic, and she looks like a heroine.
However, Jiang Ming didn't care about this, but discovered that this woman was also hiding her cultivation...
96.
